00:00:12,18 --> 00:00:18,59
news from

3
00:00:22,39 --> 00:00:27,40
air comes a fourth Cavalry stage right on
time moving along a lonely road through

4
00:00:27,40 --> 00:00:33,56
Indian country heading a way to reach
the Rocky Mountains by sundown

5
00:00:34,59 --> 00:00:35,08
up on top.

6
00:00:35,26 --> 00:00:38,89
You could be anywhere on the trail doesn't
have any science that's really fork out

7
00:00:38,89 --> 00:00:43,10
of you could be anywhere on the Great
Plains in the eighteen hundreds

8
00:00:43,10 --> 00:00:44,92
when the way was really wild.

9
00:00:46,01 --> 00:00:49,75
Now this may be Indian Territory
and it may look like the old west

10
00:00:49,75 --> 00:00:51,40
but the time is today

11
00:00:52,12 --> 00:00:57,68
and the place is freedom land a beginner
team apart in the Bronx in the state of

12
00:00:57,68 --> 00:01:03,81
New York just half an hour by subway from
Times Square in New York City here they

13
00:01:03,81 --> 00:01:07,63
built the places in the buildings
representing two hundred years of American

14
00:01:07,63 --> 00:01:07,72
history

15
00:01:08,59 --> 00:01:12,82
and riding shotgun across the Great Plains
is only one part of the story of our

16
00:01:12,82 --> 00:01:16,47
country team. What's happening
over there in Chicago.

17
00:01:16,94 --> 00:01:22,01
I'm trying to look at times with the
Chicago Fire of eight hundred seventy one.

18
00:01:23,19 --> 00:01:25,68
Hurry up man. We're going to
need volunteers for this one.

19
00:01:25,71 --> 00:01:30,26
Everybody man the pump lead got to get
water on the fire the whole city will go

20
00:01:31,00 --> 00:01:35,66
faster man keep that pump going Mr the
lyrics count is kicked over a lantern

21
00:01:35,66 --> 00:01:37,63
and the flames are spreading fast

22
00:01:41,04 --> 00:01:46,30
that pump going back there getting out of
control this fireman doesn't look very

23
00:01:46,30 --> 00:01:52,14
worried here at Freedomland they have a
Chicago fire every half hour every day

24
00:01:56,95 --> 00:01:59,82
and the gas flames behind
the windows of those fire.

25
00:02:00,00 --> 00:02:02,59
True buildings always go out on schedule

26
00:02:03,55 --> 00:02:07,03
but it's lots of fun because
it's make believe in chicago old

27
00:02:07,03 --> 00:02:08,31
and eighteen seventy one.

28
00:02:08,54 --> 00:02:10,45
They didn't have fireproof building

29
00:02:10,45 --> 00:02:15,30
and the big fire was an important event
in American history brought to life had

30
00:02:15,30 --> 00:02:18,22
freedom land down on Cortland street.

31
00:02:18,39 --> 00:02:22,14
They built little old New York just
the way it was between eighteen fifty

32
00:02:22,14 --> 00:02:23,70
and eighty ninety.

33
00:02:23,72 --> 00:02:27,64
In those days horse drawn trolleys were
the latest thing for short trips in the

34
00:02:27,64 --> 00:02:30,35
city. If you had to go out of town.

35
00:02:30,53 --> 00:02:33,62
Maybe as far as five miles
your end of the horse.

36
00:02:33,79 --> 00:02:38,61
If you didn't have one of your own if you
plan a real long trip five hundred miles

37
00:02:38,61 --> 00:02:44,15
or more you took the train there is a sign
of a railroad train getting ready for

38
00:02:44,15 --> 00:02:46,11
the long dangerous journey
to San Francisco.

39
00:02:53,49 --> 00:02:57,49
Here's another way people travel in the
eighteen hundreds on a Stern wheels the

40
00:02:57,49 --> 00:02:57,90
Bold.

41
00:02:58,07 --> 00:03:16,66
All aboard the paddle wheel start
turning away your gold traveling

42
00:03:16,67 --> 00:03:20,37
along. You can get a good idea of
how our country looked in the days

43
00:03:20,37 --> 00:03:23,29
when there were only a few
roads and the stern wheelers

44
00:03:23,29 --> 00:03:25,79
and river boats were used to
carry most of the heavy freight

45
00:03:31,13 --> 00:03:34,12
the bow of the boat is a good place to
stand if you want to see what's coming up

46
00:03:34,12 --> 00:03:34,92
around the next bend.

47
00:03:35,80 --> 00:03:42,15
If your mother let you stay there the

48
00:03:42,15 --> 00:03:46,95
day there is a fan of a
special heading west.

49
00:03:47,04 --> 00:03:48,10
Just like the days

50
00:03:48,10 --> 00:03:56,39
when there was only one railroad
line from coast of them on

51
00:03:56,40 --> 00:03:59,77
board one of the big stern wheelers
of freedom land you take a trip.

52
00:04:00,00 --> 00:04:00,58
Back to the days

53
00:04:00,58 --> 00:04:03,36
when there were only a few cities
on the East Coast of our country

54
00:04:03,36 --> 00:04:06,98
and most of the land west of the
Mississippi was a wide open front there.

55
00:04:10,63 --> 00:04:11,26
So let's go ashore

56
00:04:11,26 --> 00:04:16,09
and see some of the other reminders of our
past here in the showcase of American

57
00:04:16,09 --> 00:04:16,19
history

58
00:04:24,56 --> 00:04:26,04
in the UN team northwest.

59
00:04:26,17 --> 00:04:30,22
You can take a ride in one of the blue
balls traveling past the Trapper's cabin

60
00:04:30,22 --> 00:04:33,88
back to the time of the historic
Lewis and Clark expedition.

61
00:04:33,90 --> 00:04:37,37
You'll follow the route of the four trappers
who were the first white men to see

62
00:04:37,37 --> 00:04:40,32
many parts of our country because
they had to move farther

63
00:04:40,32 --> 00:04:43,36
and farther away from the new
villages and towns to trap

64
00:04:43,36 --> 00:04:49,80
and hunt work.

65
00:04:50,00 --> 00:04:54,68
There's a moose looking us over so
moved the light charge the both

66
00:04:58,12 --> 00:05:01,79
there is an Indian driving a totem pole
in a village just as it might have looked

67
00:05:01,79 --> 00:05:06,14
to a bowl of fur trappers and they
kept pushing north with these in

68
00:05:06,14 --> 00:05:10,14
and look friendly but no telling
what's coming up around the next man.

69
00:05:17,94 --> 00:05:24,00
If you want to see more of Freedomland
the best thing to do is go up by

70
00:05:27,25 --> 00:05:31,45
riding in an oar bucket from the Tucson
mining companies high above the buildings

71
00:05:31,45 --> 00:05:34,51
and the people from here you
can see most of Freedomland

72
00:05:34,51 --> 00:05:36,88
and take out the spots you
want to visit next time.

73
00:05:41,29 --> 00:05:43,06
Two hundred and five acres of fun

74
00:05:43,06 --> 00:05:47,30
and tradition from San Francisco in one
thousand six hundred crossed the great

75
00:05:47,30 --> 00:05:48,17
plains of the eighteen.

76
00:05:48,25 --> 00:05:53,28
Hundreds through the old southwest of eighty
ninety to the not so distant future at

77
00:05:53,28 --> 00:05:58,77
satellite city two hundred years
of American history from the days

78
00:05:58,77 --> 00:06:02,57
when herds of buffalo. Roam the
west to the present and beyond.

79
00:06:03,74 --> 00:06:07,53
There are a POW views of things to
see too many to look at on this trip

80
00:06:08,22 --> 00:06:12,91
but all of them are fun and all of
them will help you appreciate the fact

81
00:06:12,91 --> 00:06:13,98
that your history books.

82
00:06:29,65 --> 00:06:33,07
This is history brought to life
the history of the country

83
00:06:33,07 --> 00:06:35,92
that gave this place
its name Freedom Land.

84
00:06:38,28 --> 00:06:42,87
Now it's time we got back on solid ground
again back to the Bronx in the state of

85
00:06:42,87 --> 00:06:43,28
New York.

86
00:06:43,42 --> 00:06:49,75
Salam news

87
00:06:49,76 --> 00:06:53,12
when you lose

88
00:06:56,96 --> 00:06:57,00
you.
